Greenleaf, Abigail Paine RTP
April 10, 1775 Dear brother,

I don’t know what to say to your kind offer. Many Country Gent’lmen last sumer were desirious that we sho’d leave the town and said they wou’d fetch us out when ever we were willing. We can’t see them now but shou’d be glad to find them of the same mind for the charge of transportation is a sufficient reason for our going but little way.42

My love to sister. Love to the children the flutters of my spirits at present prevents writing more but my ardent desires for divine support & direction. Your Sister
